How to Apply

Acceptance

Lower Division or Pre-business Students

Because the University does not guarantee acceptance to majors in the College of Business, students who plan to pursue a business degree may be accepted to the college as preliminary business students, also known as lower-division or Pre-business students.

Typically freshmen and sophomore, lower-division students are limited in the business courses they may take and cannot declare a major within the College of Business until they apply and are accepted as upper-division students.

Upper Division Students

Students seeking to declare and complete a major as part of the College of Business must apply as an upper-division student. Most students apply for upper-division status during their sophomore year. Students must meet the following requirements to qualify as an upper-division student:

• Hold a minimum 2.5 FAU-GPA
